Each Rung Is Its Own Verb

< 1 min read

Definition #

Each rung on the training ladder has its own verb that is structurally distinct from the verb of the rung below it. A cast member who has mastered the cast-member verb is not automatically capable of the trainer verb. The next rung’s verb must be taught and tested before promotion.

Why Behind the Thinking #

Promoting the best at rung N because they are the best at rung N is the most common single failure of [Mastery Game]. Reading current performance does not substitute for teaching and testing the next rung’s verb. A cast member can be excellent at their rung and structurally incapable of the next rung’s verb — that is information about the verbs, not about the cast member ([ip_locked_masterfile.txt]).
